    摘要: Techniques are described for the use of a cryptographic token to authorize a firewall to open a pinhole which permits certain network traffic to traverse firewalls. An initiating endpoint requests a token from a call controller, which authorizes a pinhole though the firewall. In response, the call controller may generate a cryptographic authorization token (CAT) sent towards the destination endpoint. The call controller may generate the token based on an authorization ID associated with the call controller, a shared secret known to both the call controller and the firewall, and data specific to the media flow for which authorization is requested.

    摘要: An authentication agent may cryptographically identify a remote endpoint that sent a media initialization message even though intermediate devices may modify certain fields in the message after a signature is inserted. The originating endpoint's agent may create the signature over some fields of the message using an enterprise network's private key. The agent may insert the signature into the message and send the message to a recipient endpoint's authentication agent. The recipient agent may verify the signature, receive a certificate including a second public key, and challenge the identity of the originating endpoint in order to confirm that identity. This challenge may request a confirmation that the originating endpoint knows the private key corresponding to the second public key and may occur while running encrypted media at the endpoints. After the originating endpoint is authenticated, the endpoints may exchange encrypted and/or unencrypted media.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a reservation proxy monitors for received connectivity check messages or beginning-of-media-flow indication messages. When either type of message is observed, the reservation proxy requests resource allocation for a media flow associated with the received message. The amount of resource allocation requested may be coordinated by exchanging messages with a call controller or policy server for one of the endpoints of the media flow, or the amount of resource allocation may be identified within the received message.

    摘要: Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, computer-storage media, mechanisms, and means associated with a protected device initiating a pinhole through a network address translator and/or firewall to allow access to the protected device in response to a Domain Name System (DNS) query. In response to a received DNS query from a domain name system (DNS) server, an apparatus requests a traffic pinhole be created in a firewall or network address translator for allowing traffic initiated from a device, on another side of the firewall or said network address translator from the apparatus, to reach the apparatus.

    摘要: A route convergence monitoring system and method provide for determining routing changes or affected devices that may cause detrimental or other quality conditions to occur in an endpoint device. In one embodiment, ongoing endpoint quality monitoring of quality conditions and convergence occurrence monitoring of successive route changes that may occur are initiated. An endpoint quality monitor provides for determining an endpoint quality condition and transferring an indicator of the condition (e.g., endpoint device and timing) to a network manager. The network manager may add one or more information indicators and provides the indicators to an end-to-end convergence monitor. The convergence monitor, receives the indicators and determines one or more of a second endpoint device, routing changes in at least a portion of the network and a correlation of routing changes that may have caused the indicated or other quality conditions to occur.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a network device generates a protection policy responsive to identifying undesired voice data traffic. The network device then distributes the generated protection policy along a call path used for transferring the undesired voice data traffic. The proxy may distribute the protection policy by inserting the protection policy in a call response or other message that traces the call path back to a calling endpoint.

    摘要: An endpoint uses Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) to enable multimedia communications to traverse Network Address Translators (NATs). A security policy enables security devices and asymmetric security devices to forward ICE messages. A management device stores information about an initial message. Later, a security device receives an ICE message and sends and authorization request to the management device. The management device compares information in the authorization request to information in memory. According to the comparison, the management device authorizes the security device to forward the ICE message.

    摘要: In one embodiment, characteristics of a connection traversing a packet switching device is determined, which includes, but not limited to, determining a network port number and/or address of an established connection based on a signature of the connection. In one embodiment, a packet switching device receives and forwards packets of particular communication between a device and a remote node in a network. The packet switching device maintains information of the particular communication and identification data for use in subsequent identification of said particular communication. In response to receiving a communications information request specifying a signature related to said particular communications, the packet switching device prepares and sends a response, which typically includes matching the signature to said maintained identification data resulting in identification of said information including a characterization of said particular communications, and sending a reply including the characterization of said particular communications.
